30 Companies in 7 Months – Learn How Phibro Achieved a Complete Security Overhaul
Presented by:
Mary Kay Christophersen, Phibro Animal Health
Abstract:
Security roles at Phibro Animal Health Corporation were over 10 years old and had not been strategically managed during this time. Like so many JDE implementations, security was completed quickly towards the end of the projects. As a result, there were many security elements that did not adhere to standard best practices. The situation was resulting in significant effort by the security team to manage records at a user level, business disruption, lost productivity, and compliance issues that surfaced in their audit findings.
This session will walk through how they were able to easily design the security roles they needed, complete a successful testing phase, and then implement that solution across 30 companies, reduce organizational risk and consequently was able to spend much less time managing security because of a much more effective security model!
Objectives:
- Learn what indicators helped them conclude that it was time to invest in security
- Understand what best practices they wanted to implement and why
- Walk through the steps they took to effectively flip security in place without disrupting the business and the benefits they were able to quantify after the project

Release 22 is more than just a change in naming convention.
Fine-tune your digital transformation
Oracle’s roadmap for EnterpriseOne focuses on three main umbrellas: automation, optimization, and transformation. Each new tool and app update aligns under these goals.

- Transformation: Transformation happens by taking maximum advantage of digital technology wherever and whenever possible.
The goal is to better connect organizations with each other and their customers, driven by real-time intelligence.
Let’s explore these three key areas and cover the most notable improvements delivered in the October 2021, January 2022, April 2022, and June 2022 updates to Release 22.

Launch Orchestrations from an EnterpriseOne Page: No Coding Required
Presented by:
A.J. Schifano, Oracle
Abstract:
Looking for a quick win with big impact? Here’s one for you. Everybody knows that orchestrations are a great way to shrink multiple steps, tasks, and forms into a simple, one-step transaction. It’s a great way to automate and simplify complex processes. But how do we launch these orchestrations? How can end users benefit from them? What if you could simply launch an orchestration from an EnterpriseOne page? A simple button, tile, or image that offers the user a few inputs, and then BAM! the orchestration is off to do its thing. The net effect is a framework that enables you to quickly develop and deploy “microapplications” to simplify your users’ most common tasks. This session will demo a few of the possibilities and show just how easy it is.

Streamline the EnterpriseOne User Experience without Code and without Customizations
Presented by:
Naga Srihari, Oracle
Abstract:
Rich and deep application functionality is a great thing, and EnterpriseOne certainly has it, but not when it gets in the way of user productivity. Do users really need all the fields on that form?

The EnterpriseOne extensibility framework provides many tools for you to streamline the end users’ experience, helping them accomplish their tasks more easily, faster, and with fewer errors. And best of all, you can do it without the overhead and technical debt of traditional customizations. Join this session to see some inspiring examples of what’s possible.

Using Orchestrations to streamline processes and prevent mistakes
Presented by:
Lisa Tran, Stoner, Inc.
Abstract:
There are lots of processes that users don’t do day in and day out so when they do attempt these tasks, they often make mistakes and forget steps.
This results in bad data and rework down the road. I have been combining orchestrations with standard JDE screens to stream line these processes.
I also have orchestrations monitoring for bad data and sending notifications when data problems show up.
I will go through a bunch of these examples in all different modules o show how orchestrations can help you keep your system streamlined and clean.
Objectives:
- Real world examples of streamlining processes
- Real world examples of watchlist/notifications based on queries to find bad data
- Tips on orchestration nuances when running multiple orchestrations/steps and creating meaningful notifications

Manage Files with Orchestrator
Presented by:
Nicole Laurent, Oracle

You might have heard, “It’s all about the data,” but not all of that data is structured into neat definitions like numbers, strings, and dates. Some of that data—important data—is encapsulated in files, documents, or images that need to be managed, tracked, and orchestrated just like structured data. In this demo session you will see how Orchestrator has been enhanced to help you automate the management of files.

How to use Orchestration with JDE once you create it
Presented by:
Lisa Tran, Stoner, Inc.
Abstract:
After attending sessions and taking some training I realized that creating orchestrations is easy but I still kept stumbling with what do I actually do with the orchestration once I create it.
I know that you can use the form extension to create a button on a form to call an orchestration but if you want to pass in data and the data you need is not on the form, then what do you do? I have also had people talk about writing external scripts or web pages and using the orchestrations from there. That is all great, but I am not a full-fledged programmer so how can I use what I have and know in JDE to make my orchestrations work for me? It has been a long road, and I have learned a lot about the next steps to take to actually get an orchestration to work within JDE and I wanted to share my experience.
Objectives:
- Show real world example of calling an orchestration from standard JDE Form and Report Design.
- Show how to troubleshoot issues with orchestrations within JDE
- Give some real example of how I used orchestrations to streamline and eliminate steps at our company.
